Netgear MA101 with Linksys WRT54GS help

I have installed the netgear usb adapter upstairs on my linux pc. Everything seems to be coming up ok with iwconfig and ifconfig. The ip address etc. is assigned through dhcpcd wlan0. I can ping 192.168.1.1 and access the linksys router's config page, but still cannot access any webpages.

I have also tried using a linksys WUSB11v4 adapter upstairs but couldn't get it to work, so as I know that the netgear one has worked before with linux, I thought it'd be easier to just try and configure that one.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Should also mention that I can't get this setup to work on windows either... it finds the network, says it's joining, but then doesn't connect, which is similar to what I think is happening with linux.

Hi, WUSB11v4 works specially great...
it uses a new ralink chip that may have some problem on older kernel.

What distro are you using. what do you use it for?
SLAX offers some great compatibility with this new chipset.
